From the room, most of the heat in the cold season leaves through the windows. They need to be insulated in most situations. It is inexpensive, you can carry out the work yourself, and the result in the winter will definitely please if you make no mistakes.
People began to close up the cracks in the windows a very long time ago. Our ancestors noted that the consumption of firewood is significantly reduced, the heat in the house is easier to maintain if window insulation is done.
At the moment, plastic windows are increasingly being used, the manufacturers of which claim that the heat cannot go through them completely. But at the same time certain losses remain.
Wooden windows still have many admirers. Such constructions will have to be insulated every winter. There are several methods for this. Someone tapes all openings with tape or paper strips, but this approach can not be called practical. It will have to be glued again if you need to open a window for any reason. It will be very difficult in the future to get rid of traces of glue.
People warm windows and with the help of putty. However, this is also not a good idea, since the frame and window sill can be seriously dirty if this putty melts and starts to flow at high temperature. It is also not practical to use fabric or cotton wool to close the gaps.
In fact, for quality insulation of windows, only two components are required. You can buy the necessary materials at any hardware or construction store. This is a rubber sealant with a sticky base, as well as frost-resistant silicone sealant. The latter can be matched to the color of the frame or take the transparent version. The number of seals is equal to the perimeter of all wings, divided by two. It is sold in double form. It can be easily divided into two layers and glued in one row. That will be quite enough.
To get rid of the draft, the glass will first need to be glued with sealant. The joints of the frame and glass are processed precisely by him. You need to do this on both the external and internal frames. Along the perimeter after all the sashes are glued with a sealant. There should not be flaky paint on the frame, since the material does not adhere to the surface qualitatively in this case. It is necessary to wash the windows before warming. To fix the material on the tree, you can additionally use wallpaper nails. With such insulation, it will be possible to easily open the windows if necessary, they will not be blown.
